SyncToy is a good utility (and free). But every-so-often i’ve found it to hang. It will be on one particular sync and no matter how many times I’ve tried, it will not budge.

After much playing the solution is to remove the various oddly named .bin files in the SyncToyData folder in My Documents.

Dunno why and can’t find any reference on the ‘net to anybody else having this issue.

A little late, I know, but the sentiment is there.

I’ve been away over Christmas and have been with my daughter since Boxing day. She’s with me until New Year - a good time to try out all the presents!

It’s not too late, however, to wish everyone a happy 2007!

After creating a seperate Blog just for web development, I’ve now created a seperate wedding Blog. Hurrah. Therefore most of the posts from here that related to one of these has been “transplanted” to its new, better home.

I’ve also removed various Blog add-ons that were doing nothing much other than slow the site down. And then added a new one .

If you glance over at the right you’ll see a playlist which streams music of my own choosing (code supplied by Radio.blog). At the moment it’s looking a bit sparse, but it will eventually show a representation of the kind of stuff that I like to listen to. God help you all.

Yep, it’s nearly Christmas and in the New Year, the wedding invites are being sent out. They’re all ready and sat in a shoe box on our bedroom wardrobe.

As per a previous post, we’ve had the cards designed for us, but I’ve done the inserts (plus various assorted bits of paper that are loose inside… you know, the usual, asking for music requests, etc).

Then we have two things to do, sooner rather than later - contact the vicar and the caterers. The vicar needs contacting to we can discuss rehearsals, order of service, etc. The caterers, well, we need to confirm the final menu. And that they can supply tables and chairs (we thought the hall was going to be able to do this, but in the end they couldn’t). Hmm.

In the meantime, have a good Christmas!

A while ago I gave up on the Adobe Acrobat Reader due to it’s snail-like speed. I swapped to Foxit Reader, but, although quick, I was disappointed with the lack of various features, including browser integration.

Now, Adobe has released version 8 and… my god… it’s a lot better. Fast speed, good looks and all the features I need.

So I’ve switched back. And if you don’t have it, it’s very much recommended.

One thing to look out for is a startup item that Adobe creates named “Adobe Reader Synchronizer”. For the majority of people it’s probably unnecessary so can be deleted. Read this Adobe Blog first, though.
